Really short chapter and I left it sort of on a cliff-hanger but I so desperately wanted one.
Opening his eyes, he stared at her as she silently got dressed, his eyes turning to look out of the window to see it was still completely dark outside as he rolled his eyes. She couldn't sleep again and it worried him to see her so exhausted when it came to later in the day.
"Kate" he moaned as she turned to see him slowly sitting up, a smile creeping onto her face as she watched him. "You're not going into work again are you?" he asked as a sigh left her lips as she crept over and kissed him gently. "You need to sleep".
"I can't Rick, it's just impossible, so I'm going to try and finish some paperwork" she mumbled onto his lips as he groaned. "I'll relax when I've done the paperwork and have nothing left to think about".
"Kate, there's always paperwork, no matter how much you get done and how early you go in" he moaned as she nodded and slowly lay down beside him, holding his hands against her stomach slowly. "Don't try and change the topic Kate, this time I'm not backing down" he whispered as she laughed gently and kissed him, her hand slowly running through his hair as he slowly sighed once they parted.
"Rick if I stay here, I won't sleep and I'll be bored and wondering around waiting for you to get up but if I go to work I can do something useful and perhaps get off early to come home and discuss baby and wedding things with you" she explained as he shut his eyes and groaned. "I'll call every hour if I have to just let me go and finish something useful".
"Fine but every half hour I want a phone call and if anything pregnancy wise happens phone straight away, actually why don't I just come with you?" he asked quickly causing her to shake her head as she stared into his blue eyes, finding herself lost in them again.
"I want some time alone, I need to process everything" she explained as she returned to reality. "I'll see you later" she said before exiting the room as he groaned once more and slowly began to fall asleep, dreaming of the wedding he was one day going to have and the wife and children he would share life with.
XOXOXOXO
Sitting at her desk, she groaned as she ran her hand through her hair and stared down at the endless pile of work she had to finish. In her mind it had been a logical plan but she was exhausted and because of that she couldn't work properly. Turning to look at the clock, she sighed as she grabbed her phone and quickly dialled his number, waiting for him to answer.
"I thought you weren't going to call" he laughed as she smiled and thought about the man who most likely had been staring down at his phone since she'd last called, counting down the minutes. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Tired" she moaned as he laughed gently. "And baby misses her daddy" she mumbled, her hand slowly resting on her stomach as she thought about the child growing inside her. "And I miss him too" she added.
"Want me to come in?" he asked as she nodded. "Kate?" he asked.
"Sorry, nodding to myself, yes please come in" she announced as she heard the elevator open. "Someone's here Rick" she commented as he went silent.
"Who's mad enough to go in as early as you?" he asked causing her to roll her eyes as she got up and walked over to look. "Kate are you alright?" he asked as she stared at the man who was looking straight at her, clutching a metal object in his hands. "Kate?" he whispered as terror ran through Kate Beckett's body before she ran in fear for her life but also for her unborn child.
